Best all around ammunition.

GhostWarrior:
          I'm posting this in a couple places one here one on the Ammunition Board and one or 2 more places so I can get the widest range of answers. I think it would benifit ALL our members if there was some sort of answer for a question like this.
 
         My question is: Say you have a 9mm and 3 or 4 different 9mm CZ's or possibly even a mix of brands (if that doesn't mess up the answer), And you wanted to stock up on one  round for all the 9's, that would meet pretty much every purpose, things, animals, people, (I hope I Never have to do that), what would you get? 116 grain, 124 grain Sub sonic or sonic, and is there an overall particular manufacture that pretty much something you can count on. I'm looking a ball/FMJ since the only way HP's will work in all my 9's is if I have the ramps polished and I couldn't afford to have that done on a bet. So FMJ is pretty much all I'm interested in.



        I actually have that same question for .380, .40's, .45's. .308's. I figure the Mak and Tok rounds I'm just going to have to go with surplus unless there is an American and or non-corrosive answer for those.



     Is there a single manufacture that anyone would buy all their ammo from if they could get a good price for case lots, and what is a decent price on case lots for any of those. Be advised I just got a letter from Federal telling me they not only can't/won't sell to me at even retail let alone a discount for testing purposes, but the Federal literally cannot meet its current demand for product. Keep that in mind if you like Federal. It could get ugly trying to find any or at a reasonable price. I don't think this is going to be an easy thing to answer even the 9mm part let alone the others. And if anyone has a better way to set up the question to get the answers, I would love it.

I really like Winchester. I have never had any problems with anything they sell, from teh White Box up to the nicer Home/Self defense stuff. If I were going to get 5000 rounds of any ammo, it would be the 124 grain JHP. Cheap enough for plinking, but reliable enough for me to feel safe carying every day.

I get the fmj 124gr in any good brand that isnt steel cased and i tend to stay away from winchester( leaves red powder all over gun and my hand)...i alway try to buy sellier and bellot when they are priced right...

GhostWarrior:
Great! Thanks both of you, every bit of info I can get is important. I just hope I find out enouhg to make a decent all around choice before it gets to be to late to afford ammo.

CZ04FT:
I like Federal. It is carried at the stores I go to for ammo, Walmart, for example. It is usually in stock and inexpensive compared to some other brands. Bottom line: cost, availability, and reasonable quality.
